When Chip heard the mail truck arriving on his sixth birthday, herushed out—not knowing that he’d come back with a treasure.
Outside the house, which was decorated with birthday balloons, postwoman Shelley held a pile of boxes. One was marked with Chip’s name and a greeting for his Special day, November 5.
“So,” when he came running out the door, she said, “You must be Chip!” And he said,“Yes.” She said, “Today’s your birthday?” And he started smiling. Shelley said, “So, let me see if I can find you something for your birthday.”She checked her pocket and surprised him with a gift: a dollar bill and four quarters.
On this day, the 42-year-old postwoman made one little boy very happy. “He was very excited,” said his mom, Bonnie. “He came running back in the house just waving his money.” Chip is saving up to buy a Spider-man action figure.
“Our family has had money problems since I lost my job. Gestures like that are valuable memories.” Her hope is that Chip and his eight-year-old sister, Bennett, will remember this when they grow up. “Not the ugly that is out there right now, but the good and the kind and the giving.”
A photo of a smiling Chip and Shelley next to the mail truck has been shared widely on social media. Shelley said she was just trying to give back, because people are often nice to her eight-year-old son, Joshua.
On a recent day, Chip heard the mail truck and rushed out again, this time to deliver an envelope with a thank-you card for his favorite mail carrier. Since that day, the families have kept in contact. Shelley has struggled to find someone who can take care of her son, and Bonnie has agreed to watch him at her home while his mom is on her mail route.

If you struggle to fall asleep quickly, you’re not alone! Fortunately, thereare plenty of solutions you can try. With a few changes, you can fall asleep fast every night!
Keep your room dark. Turn off all the lights above your head when you go to bed. Any bright light can make you believe it is too early in the day for sleep. If you want to read or write before bed, try using a small book light. Now that blue lights can keep you awake, red ones are a great choice.
If you can, keep noise in and around your room the lowest at night. If you have an old clock that ticks loudly and keeps you awake, replace it with a silent one. If you share your home with anyone else, request that they keep noises like talking, music, or TV shows at the lowest while you are trying to sleep. It is difficult to fall asleep if you live near a busy road or hear other boring sounds after bedtime. You could get a white noise machine or play recordings of nature sounds, like waves or whales’ singing. You could also listen to soft, relaxing music.
Read a book in bed if you have difficulty in falling asleep. Staying in bed doing nothing when you’re having trouble falling asleep may keep you wide awake. While reading in bed may be slightly harmful to your eyes, it can distract (分散) you from your thoughts and help you feel sleepy. But remember to read from a print book rather than something with a screen. The light from electronic screens can keep you awake.
Lowering your body temperature helps you sleep, so set the room temperature between 15.5℃-21℃could do the trick.
8. What color1 book light should you choose toread before bed? A. Red. B. Blue.
C. White. D. Orange.
9. What is the author’s attitude towards reading in bed? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Favorable. D. Uncaring. 10. What can we inferred from the text?
A. Reading on cellphones sometimes helps you fall asleep. B. The lower your temperature while sleeping is, the better. C. Bright lights are better for your reading before going to bed. D. Playing recordings like birds’ singing can improve your sleep. 11. How does the author organize the text?
A. By givingexamples. B. By asking questions.
C. By offering suggestions. D. By listing research results.
D
A team of engineers atHarvardUniversity in trying to create the first robotic fly. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
\"The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own’ said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings hasa number of interdependencies (相互依赖）on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it d connected to,” said Wood.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites，in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. \"Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications.“You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animal，but using these robots instead” he said. \"So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis.” 12. What is the typical characteristic of the robotic fly?
A. It's automatic. B.It's very small. C. It's controllable. D. It's quite powerful. 13. We can infer from the passage that the robotic flyer can____ . A. act as a spy plane B. help do farm work
C.fly at a very high speed D. answer many scientific questions 14. What is Wood's idea about the robotic fly according to the last paragraph? A. It is highly questionable. B. It has wide practical applications.
C. It gives scientists interest in flying machines. D. It points to a new direction in studying biology. 15. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Harvand's Study in the Field of Insects. B. A Breakthrough in Engineering Science C. An Interesting Invention一Robotic Fly D. Robotic Fly一a Copy of Real Life Insect

On the day of the trip, my mom prepared everything for me and gave me a hour's lesson on being careful and stay away from strangers. She asked me to phone her at every station which I went through.
